The correct method for pulling the handbrake is: 1. Press the handbrake button before pulling it; 2. Apply gentle force when pulling the handbrake; 3. Pull the handbrake up to about 70% of its full range, as pulling it to the maximum height will shorten the lifespan of the handbrake cable. The function of the handbrake is to provide braking when parking on flat or sloped surfaces, preventing the vehicle from moving unintentionally and avoiding traffic accidents. The dangers of forgetting to engage the handbrake while driving include: 1. The brake pump may fail to provide sufficient braking force, causing the engine to stall; 2. Accelerated wear of the brake discs and hardening of the brake pads due to friction heat; 3. Stretching of the handbrake cable; 4. Potential leakage of brake fluid from the brake caliper, leading to brake failure.

Can Used Cars Be Transferred During National Day?

During the National Day holiday, the vehicle management office is closed, so vehicle transfers cannot be processed. Documents required for used car transfer: Vehicle license, motor vehicle registration certificate, motor vehicle registration supplementary form (obtained from the local vehicle management office), bring ID card, driving license, road maintenance fee certificate to obtain it, vehicle purchase tax certificate, ID cards and household registration books of both buyer and seller. For non-local residents, a temporary residence permit is required, and the buyer's temporary residence permit must be valid for at least one year. Precautions for used car transfer: Be sure to check the original tax receipt of the car. Some cars may not have paid the purchase tax originally, but after the transfer, these unpaid or tax-exempt vehicles may be required to pay the purchase tax in full. Therefore, to resolve the issue of who will pay the back taxes, it is essential to check the tax receipt, as this can be a significant expense.

Is a 9-speed automatic manual transmission a dual-clutch?

9-speed automatic manual transmission is a wet dual-clutch. The differences between a 7-speed dual-clutch and a 9-speed automatic manual transmission are as follows: Different gear forms: The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission uses a manual gearbox combined with an electronic control computer to simulate automatic transmission operation, while the 9-speed automatic manual transmission is an automatic transmission that uses computer control to simulate manual mode. Different clutch forms: The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission uses wet dual clutch plates that alternately work for gear shifting, while the 9-speed automatic manual transmission uses wet clutch plate sets to control the gear combination operation. Different fuel-saving capabilities: The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission actually uses manual transmission gear sets without power loss, naturally improving fuel economy. In contrast, the 9-speed automatic manual transmission is an automatic transmission where the torque converter still causes engine power loss. Even with the addition of a mechanical lock-up system, it will still increase fuel consumption at low speeds.
